Easter Pageant

The Easter Pageant is held every year at the Mesa Temple. As we live so close to it, we decided that we would attend it the Friday before Easter. It was a really fun experience. I packed a really good dinner and we got there pretty early. Early enough to get seats on about the third row. We were so close that you could actually see the actors mouths moving. Here is a picture from the end of the program. They do a really good job portraying the life of Jesus Christ and it was a great way to remember what Easter is about. 
We were there so early that we ate dinner there to take up some of the waiting time. I packed great sandwiches (with meat and everything), we had veggies and dip, kettle corn, and drinks. It was all so good. Most people had fast food, so our meal was definately better. We weren't jealous or anything...until we were eating our carrots and broccoli. The ladies next to us just had to pull out there chocolate covered strawberries. Oh my goodness. They looked so good. 
Here's Jeff showing just how close to the stage we were. It was actually a fairly cool night. We had jackets and everything. When we got home the news said they canceled soccer games and that you needed to stay inside because of the weather...it was in the 60' and the wind was blowing around 30 mph or so.  Not breaking news worthy.
